Default Seat comfort, 2016 xf 35t R sport

Hello all, I am 385lbs (165 kg) and 6ft 3in tall. I am thinking of buying a 2016 xf 35t r sport. I kinda feel confused about the seats. They felt good not immediately but after 5 minutes of driving. Has anyone (possibly someone as big and tall like me) had any comfort problems in the long run. What other issues can possibly arise if any ?

We're very similar in size and the nicest things I can say about the seats are that they're "sporty." It's taken a number of months to find the "least uncomfortable" position for longer car rides. It's not that the seats are bad per-se but compared to other sedans in the same class, Jaguar definitely skimped on them in my opinion (you can see this with other interior choices). The car is heavily geared towards the performance side vs. a comfort cruiser.

That said, I love driving the car and would also highly encourage you to investigate the VelocityAP tune for it. It completely fills in the mid-band power "hole".

It's a kickass car, and I am very comfortable in the seat. Just got it and drove about 3 hours today

Glad your comfortable. I didn't get the R-Sport, however I find the car much more comfortable when it's in Dynamic Mode :-). Enjoy your new ride!
